Fall Gardening

Fall is the time to plant things for early spring harvest! Last year we had a bounty of Swiss chard, spinach, arugula and some odd broccoli that did not ever form a broccoli head…oh well. This year we are adding a few more items to our winter garden repertoire: onions, shallots, garlic and snow peas. Additionally, we’re continuing with the chard, spinach and arugula. I just finished cleaning off the lavender from all our dried lavender bundles that were hanging on our back porch to dry – perfect for making little laundry sachets, herbs de Provence or scented salt and sugar body scrubs at Christmas time!

Welcome!

Welcome to the little yellow house!  It is fall in the northwest, one of my favorite seasons. Brown, yellow and red leaves scatter the sidewalks in our neighborhood.  Here are some projects that I hope to share more about in the weeks to come:

• Pear upside down cake recipe w/ local bosc pears from Hood River
• Tea towel embroidery projects
• Fall gardening
• Sewing ideas
